Summer body sweat odor may be caused by physiological factors and pathological factors (such as fox odor and hyperhidrosis) and other reasons.
1. Physiological factors: some people may secrete more sweat, especially in the summer, if you do not take a shower in time, change clothes, sweat contains proteins that can easily breed bacteria, resulting in summer body sweat odor.
2. Pathological factors:
Fox odor: due to abnormal secretion of sweat by sweat glands in the body, the main manifestation is a special odor emitted from the sweat, or the organic matter in the sweat is decomposed by bacteria and releases a foul odor, that is, the phenomenon of summer body sweat odor.
Hyperhidrosis: mostly caused by the hyperfunction of the small sweat glands innervated by cholinergic nerve fibers. The sweat secreted by the small sweat glands accumulates on the skin surface, penetrates into the skin stratum corneum, and produces an acidic odor, which leads to the odor of sweat on the body in summer.
If the patient summer body sweat odor, exclude physiological factors, it is recommended to go to the hospital in a timely manner, to identify the cause of the disease after targeted treatment.
